Al Jazeera calls for UN protection force in Palestine
Opinion piece argues international strategy must shift from political settlement to urgent civilian protection.
What to know
- An Al Jazeera opinion piece calls for immediate deployment of a UN protection force to Palestine, arguing current international focus on political settlement misses urgent civilian protection needs.
- The author documents systemic destruction: 81% of Gaza's structures destroyed, 1.9 million people displaced, 98% of schools damaged or destroyed, and only 19 of 36 hospitals partially functional.
- The piece argues Israel is systematically dismantling the infrastructure supporting Palestinian life—housing, healthcare, education, livelihoods—across both Gaza and the West Bank.
“For that reason, an international protection force is urgently needed not only to prevent Israeli violence, but to protect Palestinian schools, hospitals, access to livelihoods and access to aid.”

“Israel is not just killing Palestinians; it is actively destroying every pillar that supports human life: Housing, healthcare, education, livelihood, and security.”
